And, for good measure, Cisco Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: CSCO) orchestrated a flash mob soon after the show floor opened.
The show drew the expected 12,000 people, down about 8 percent compared to last year's confab in Chicago, but we didn't hear too many complaints on the floor, at least during the first two days of the event. Every tech panel we attended was tightly packed too.
We captured some of the show sights during our travels. Click on the image below to start up the slide show.
Except where noted, all photos were taken with our handy-dandy Nikon Coolpix P300. And the captions, per usual, are entirely our fault.
